Liquid Film Coating a Fiber as a Model System for the Formation of Bound States in Active Dispersive-Dissipative Nonlinear Media

Abstract: We analyze coherent-structures interaction and formation of bound states in active dispersivedissipative nonlinear media using a viscous film coating a vertical fiber as a prototype. The coherent structures in this case are drop-like pulses that dominate the evolution of the film. We study experimentally the interaction dynamics and show evidence for formation of bound states. A theoretical explanation is provided through a coherent structures theory of a simple model for the flow.

“…In particular, the absolute phase velocity of the analyzed solitary waves is a function of the ratio of inertia and viscous effects, see Eq. (33). Surface tension and gravity, on the other hand, have no discernible influence on the dispersion of solitary waves, contrary to the dispersion relation described by linear wave theory.…”

“…These solitary waves have a dominant elevation with a long tail and steep front, typically with capillary ripples preceding the main wave hump. The γ 1 and γ 2 waves are also observed in falling films in the presence of various complexities, such as Marangoni effects due to heating, localized or uniform [22][23][24][25][26], chemical reactions [27][28][29], surfactants [30] and substrate curvature [31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…We would also like to point out that the leading-order system obtained here, (4.10), has a crucial difference from the systems obtained for the description of pulse interactions in local equations (see, e.g., [16,51,55]). For local equations which have pulses with exponentially decaying tails, it is sufficient to take into account only the immediate neighbors for each pulse, whereas for nonlocal equations we have to include long-range interactions due to the algebraically decaying tails of the pulses.…”

“…The decay of the tails is then found to be exponential (unless there are zero roots of the characteristic equation), and the rates and the nature (monotonic or oscillatory) of the decay are determined by the roots of the characteristic equation; see, e.g., [29] for the analysis for the gKS equation. We remark here that for local equations that have pulses with exponentially decaying tails, coherent structure theories have been developed in [5,9,16,39,40,41,42,51,55,56].…”
